>Mastodon ends up creating significant echo chambers where admins ban communication with other instances for having people with different opinions to them

The echo chamber argument itself is a politicized argument that I think fundamentally misunderstands why communities converging on common values can be beneficial rather than simply echoing.

If people are interested in astronomy, or tech security, or FOSS, or politics, weeding the garden leads to more dynamic, diverse and nuanced communication, not less, and the diagnosis of such things as "echo chambers" is a shallow misdiagnosis. Opening up your garden to weeds kills everything and leads to takeover of the one dominant kind of weed that already dominates everywhere else, which is more echoey.
I don't know enough about Coolidge to have my opinion be worth much here, and of course it's always fair to argue whether any win or loss during or after a president's term should be attributed to them, their predecessors, or (in the last case) their successors, but there's a lot of ground between "not really responsible for the Depression" and "the greatest president!" I would have been less surprised by the first claim, but it seemed like linguae was making the second.

How far were you willing to travel? In my local smaller city a skin cancer specialist was also unavailable for several weeks but I was able to take a two hour trip to the Mayo Clinic and got in there 2 days later with a referral. In the UK it’s controlled at a a national level and you can’t travel two hours with an overnight stay to fix it like you can in the US.

if we are talking about traveling 2 hours to get care UK people can hit the airplane and head on over to Serbia/Romania/... and get whatever care they want for 1/20th of the price (plus a little R&R time...)

I have yet to see a system where that’s true. A friend got pneumonia in Canada and had to wait 14 hours in the ER before being diagnosed and given antibiotics.

you are taking one example of one friend. I have both friends as well as family in Canada who basically say all the time that it is absolute BS what American's get fed via media what it is like to have universal healthcare in Canada.

This is similar to how everyone thinks that VA healthcare system is "broken" in the United States - same thing - have both friends and family who served in the Armed Forces that swear by VA and have never had a single issue getting care/medicine/...

The lobby for current health care system is stroooooong and is working hard to make you believe that a different system (where they are cut out completely) will just be very very bad for ya...
I wonder whether that is entirely so (though the difference may not be relevant for the intended applications of this lens.) The reason I say this is that one can often tell whether a telephoto lens is being used at long range, as opposed to a normal lens at shorter distance, by the way the former seems to compress the longitudinal axis (at least when one is watching a movie rather than a still image.) This effect seems to me to be independent of focal depth, in that it does not seem to depend on having nearby or distant objects markedly out-of-focus, though I may be mistaken about this. Do magnified long-distance movies shot with normal focal-length lenses look like their telephoto equivalents?
Which is orthogonal to the case of knowingly hiring someone from a place where you can't conduct an effective background check.
Easy to implement, but much room for optimization.

The rules are simple, but give rise to complexity.

Despite conservation of mass and such not being a part of the rules, what appear to us to be "objects" arise, and can even exhibit velocity! Physics-lite results out of nowhere.

> They want to share them across devices

I do this today on Bitwarden, Apple users do this today with Keychain. Who's the "they" here?

> sometimes even devices made by different vendors.

> they want to hand a passkey to a family member or friend

..... Why? What's the use case here?

Tying a credential to a single identity (and therefore, human) is another explicit design goal of webauthn. I seem to remember the original proposal was that locking a private key to a device in an unextractable, un-copyable way was an explicit benefit - if it can't be exported, then it can't be stolen/copied without the device also being stolen. This was softened with the purpose of allowing syncing amongst devices that already have a good story on sharing sensitive data, but this mechanism does not exist generically. There is no standard way, right now, that my iPad and Pixel device can share a private, sensitive piece of information without the help of a 3rd-party syncing provider. Without that, cross-platform credential sharing can't exist out of the box by default.
I see. Having looked into this some more, I honestly think she's an outlier. I'm not familiar with her work, but she seems to make money by being banned from places, using the "most banned woman" label as a badge of honour. Still, would be interesting to get Bluesky's take on this, and some more unbiased detail from somewhere.
You don't need a calendar to have seasonal celebrations.

Liquid fuel isn’t a finite resource, or is at least only finite to the extent the universe is finite.

Whether we use conventional oil, shale or synthetics is really just an implementation issue. The basic idea of solar energy + hydrogen + carbon is pretty much common.
Not sure what you mean by “at large” but it certainly reflects the reality for the majority of people. That’s why it fails to garner political support to disrupt.

This is 100% not why it "fails to garner political support to disrupt." there are things in the US (e.g. universal background checks on gun purchases) that are supported by majority of the population that will never happen. the reason there is no political support is that political support in the USA is bought by the very people that benefit from the current system which is entirely broken to the core - through and through. people that are making money from the current broken system have made you believe all kinds of things - it is understandable as we are talking about very powerful people :)

> I default to a headless browser

Headless browsers consume orders of magnitude more resources, and execute far more requests (e.g. fetching images) than a common webscraping job would require. Having run webscraping at scale myself, the cost of operating headless browsers made us only use them as a last resort.

This whole saga is so unbelievably stupid. What’s the deal with the overly strict dress code in the first place?

Israel started the Six Day War claiming that the closing of straits was a grounds for war, this justifying their first strike, but they have had Gaza under siege and blockade for years, and don't consider it a grounds for war when they do it to others. Just one small point
> i'd just roll my own extraction pipeline from the start, rather than learning someone elses complex setup

I have to agree. It’s actually quite a good summary of hacking with AI-related libraries these days. A lot of them get complex fast once you get slightly out of the intended path. I hope it’ll get better, but unfortunately it is where we are.

Do you happen to have a full list of what media formats are still working in Messages when in lockdown mode? Does HEIC/HEIF work? (Pardon the question but I just don't have a second iOS device available for testing this myself.)
Perhaps it's time to establish an actual Professional Engineer board for "software engineers". This could start with the most safety critical systems, embedded life support code, etc. You then get the other engineering codes/standards to require board-certified programmers for these "critical" systems, and that drives the wedge of larger companies being "forced" to hire engineers who are bound to an ethical discipline. They then would have grounds to stand on for pushing back on shady systems.
If trans men have to go to women’s bathrooms then that actually makes it easier for cis men to go into women’s bathrooms too (as in general they are indistinguishable with clothes on). So there isn’t even any internal logic to this idea. The only way to have bathrooms segregated by genitals is to have genital inspectors outside bathrooms, which is neither practical nor desirable (not to mention that bottom surgery is a thing).

Ironic that the model is all about how finite resources must eventually run out, and so production cannot grow without limit, whereas in the real world it’s consumption which seems a more pressing threat. We are probably capable of producing and burning more than enough fossil fuel to render the climate very human-unfriendly.

I really hate the ergonomics and quirky design choices for this thing. Are we trying to build a computer, or the successor to the "Bop-It!"? I understand the latter may be more attractive as a kickstarter, or a YouTube thumbnail. But in that respect, I can't help but feel all these modern indie Pi/etc UMPCs are designed to be looked at, rather than used.

Your desktop keyboard is not aligned to a perfect grid, your smartphone keyboard is not aligned to a perfect grid. Did the makers ever consider there may be a reason for that?

They all work the same and each has its own pro's and con's for each model they launch. Even the API's are generic. It's a bit more difficult to lock in 3rd party partners using your API if your API literally is English. It's going to be a race to the bottom where the value in LLMs is the underlying value of the GPU-time they run on plus a few % upmark.
Awesome, as usual, put me in that box with all the right wingers. Is there space for a normal liberal nowadays or do I have to fully subscribe to this modern day lunacy? Suppose I better fall in line then. Thanks for the help!
I don't know. If you're in the iOS ecosystem and using iCloud syncing and Safari things are super easy and default more secure than without passkeys. The author's examples of Firefox, chrome, a password manager and a physical key apply to very technical users who seem quite capable of navigating the complexities he complains of.

The vast majority of people are just not going to encounter most of his issues. I sympathize with his issues, but he's kind of complaining that fighting the ecosystem is complicated.

My guess is that <<1% of people use his combination of multiple browsers a non-iCloud pw manager and a physical key on MacOS. And they're not substantially less secure than his setup.

My only issue with passkeys is sites that don't seem to have them figured out yet. They'll let you setup a passkey but then offer to let you sign in with a password first. These seem to be becoming more rare, but even amazon's passkey seems random when it lets me use it. And even then it wants to send me a text message code anyway (this is probably a setting somewhere, so my fault I'm sure).
I would have settled for something like the Instagram “iPad app”: a phone-sized rectangle in the middle of a black background. Alas, they don’t even allow that, hence all the fake crap you can easily download by mistake. And the web app is pretty bad on iPads, thanks in no small part to Apple.

They do seem to have figured out how to properly isolate and recover their gpu.

But it also feels like that's because it crashed so much it was bothering their engineers, so they made the recovery robust.
I didn't say colonizers. Also Israel's Jewish population is made up majorly of people not tied to Europe / the Holocaust. Those latter are the minority.

Again, a state built around one ethnicity that by its founding requires people of a separate ethnicity who were equally living in the same land to become stateless, that's wrong and should not happen.

Now, the Holocaust is nearing 100 years old, does the raison d'etre of the country even apply anymore and does it justify the current state of things which has not changed since then?

There are clear financial reasons for governments and vehicle manufacturers to want this to happen.

From the consumer standpoint, what’s the alternative? Every new vehicle has one of these devices (recently mandated in USA by 20XX). If you want to buy a new vehicle, there’s no option but to have a telematics device installed.
If you think you’re competent enough to rip the component out yourself, hopefully it’s not integral to the functioning of the vehicle. If it isn’t, your warranty will be void if you do
Is that unique to the German car industry? Outside of a few tech corps or some small startups, mainly in the US, most shops seem to 'run' their tech function more like buyer/seller e.g. "here's some Euros in exchange for [thing] we'd like" instead of the traditional employer/employee dynamic where your boss can evaluate your work to some degree.

Arguably they'd be better off actually doing that as a true buyer and just engaging B2B for their easily solved CRUD variants than this weird go-between that combines the negatives of managing employees with the negatives of buying unknown solutions.
"It should be obvious that the same risk is not present from other female prisoners"

This is false. Female inmates are raped by female inmates, and male inmates are raped by male inmates. This is a "rape in prison" problem, not a trans women problem. In fact, rape of biological women by trans women in prison is extremely rare.

And, again, your stated hypothesis is self-contradictory, because it implies that the problem of inmates getting raped is solved by putting trans women in male prisons, which is plainly false. It will likely increase the number of rapes.

"the prospect of laws that penalize males who decide to use female bathrooms is good news"

I remember tiredly accidentally using a women's bathroom after a long flight. I'm not looking forward to being punished for it because of the latest moral panic. I'm sure all of the women who are falsely accused of being men because they don't conform to societal stereotypes of what women look like also feel much safer.

Meanwhile, there are, as far as I can ascertain, currently no cases of trans women assaulting biological women in women's bathrooms. I'm sure cases exist, but they must be exceedingly rare.

There are, however, plenty of cases of trans women being assaulted (and, in some cases, murdered) in men's bathrooms.
The thing is, at some point users must become comfortable with "pedantic permission dialogs." Users must take responsibility for knowing how software works and the motivations of its creators. Trying to outsource those decisions to corporations and government simply isn't working. Since computer users (I include phone users in that definition) can no longer trust software developers (Apple, Meta, etc.) to be ethically trustworthy (think: high-trust society devolving to low-trust society), users must take this burden upon themselves; if they refuse to, then the battle is already lost no matter what globogiantmegacorp "wins."
Amazing how Israel defenders claim Arab states should just be forced to give Palestinians citizenship, yet they justify the existence of Israel by saying "Well, no other country would give them citizenship nor were any safe for them, so they needed their own". That logic applies to the Palestinians right now, but you are too blind to ever put yourself in their shoes.
